We took the full day tour with Hans and from the moment we got into the van he went above and beyond. His level of service and attention made our tour that much more enjoyable. Even when my wife fell through the ice on the lake with her one boot and socks completely soaked he made sure we were able to dry everything out between stops. Hans really made our trip very special and his extensive knowledge of the area made us enjoy it even more. This was our 19th national park and first with a guide and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thank you so much!!

Enjoy a beautiful day in one of America's most treasured National Parks! Allow our local guide to safely drive while you enjoy the views. Get out to See, Learn and Explore all the beauty the park has to offer, don't just drive past. Travel through the city of Boulder and the small town of Lyons on your way up to the park. Once inside the National Park enjoy a walk around a snow covered Glacial Lake, carved out and damned by glaciers long ago. Observe herds of elk grazing on rich grasses in Moraine Park. See incredible mountain and park views at Many Parks Curve. Witness the destructive force of Mother Nature while walking around an alluvial fan in Horseshoe Park. Visit the mountain village of Estes Park and have lunch on your own in one of the many restaurants or cafes, stroll the river walk and enjoy souvenir and boutique shopping and visit the Historic Stanley Hotel. Special Note: Wildlife viewing likely but not guaranteed.

Anne was wonderful and knowledgeable guide and we had such a great time. Rocky mountains is really pretty. It was snowing and windy but I guess that added to the experience

Such a fun day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park! Anne was an incredible tour guide and made it such an incredible experience!

I had a wonderful day trip. It had snowed the night before, which made the experience even better—it was exactly what I was looking for 🤩. Our guide, Anne, was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us beautiful places that would probably have taken me two days to find on my own. She was also very friendly and took great care of us throughout the trip. I’m already thinking about coming back at another time of year. It was truly an amazing experience 😍
